To that I would I only add the clarification: choose one of squat or deadlift. Doing both doesn't work - you could do some of either movement at 60% or under to maintain the movement pattern, but you won't get stronger on that one. You have to choose between the two. But it's only for several weeks.




My tweaks to Kyle’s ES version:

- Crawl for 5-10 minutes (EASY pace). Mix and match crawls.

- One lower body lift (*): 60% weeks 1-2, 70% weeks 3-4, 80% weeks 5-6.

(*) Switch back and forth every other cycle between deep knee bend and hinge exercises.

- One upper body push: 70% weeks 1-2,, 80% weeks 3-4, 60% weeks 5-6.

- One upper body pull: 80% weeks 1-2, 60% weeks 3-4, 70% weeks 5-6.

- Carry for 5-10 minutes (EASY pace). Mix and match carries.

And, maybe, just maybe, find a Training Max and base all your percentages on it, in order to keep things REALLY easy.






This is really excellent, I like this a lot. You could adjust the percentages slightly depending on 'what helps you the most'. Like 75-85-60 for upper body pulls if the load does good things.


OR you could rotate the percentages too. 80% for one, 70% for the second one, 60% for the third at any given time.


Something else fun might be: don't do the same set/rep scheme two days in a row. For 10 total reps

10x1
5x2
3x3
2x5
1x10
5,3,2
2,3,5
1,2,3,1,2
4,3,2,1
2,4,3,1
John McKean's 3 clusters of 3 singles
Q&D style 2 clusters of 4 singles

...There's a dozen options. Could even go by dice roll to decide, with the only rule being 'don't do what you did yesterday'
